"It's hard to analyse anything after such a difficult game. The team lost. Today we tried to build the game more from defence, to run out on the counterattack. In the first half, we did well, but in the second half we probably got a little bit tired.

The opponent forced us to play a lot without the ball. Especially in the second half. Sometimes, having already controlled the ball, we were in too much of a hurry and lost it. In general, we were preparing for the kind of game where we would have to be patient and wait for a chance to run out in a quick attack.

In my opinion, we had two or three good chances, but the execution let us down," Melnyk was quoted as saying by Veres' official website.
